Joint Learning of Label and Environment Causal Independence for Graph Out-of-Distribution Generalization

arXiv License License

This is the official code for the implementation of "Joint Learning of Label and Environment Causal Independence for Graph Out-of-Distribution Generalization" which is accepted by NeurIPS 2023. 😄

Table of contents

Overview

In this work, we propose to simultaneously incorporate label and environment causal independence (LECI) to release the potential of pre-collected environment information in graph tasks, thereby addressing the challenges faced by prior methods on identifying causal/invariant subgraphs. We further develop an adversarial training strategy to jointly optimize these two properties for causal subgraph discovery with theoretical guarantees.

Installation

Conda dependencies

LECI depends on PyTorch (>=1.6.0), PyG (>=2.0), and RDKit (>=2020.09.5). For more details: conda environment

Note that we currently test on PyTorch (==1.10.1), PyG (==2.0.3), RDKit (==2020.09.5); thus we strongly encourage to install these versions.

Project installation

git clone https://github.com/divelab/LECI.git && cd LECI
pip install -e .

To run the code without installing the project, please replace goodtg with python -m GOOD.kernel.main.

Explanations of the arguments can be found in this file.

How to train LECI?

Valid LECI: The training of LECI is valid only when the optimal discriminator Proposition 3.2 is approximately learned, e.g., the environment branch loss at least should not indicate a random prediction when the adversarial training is not applied (or is weak). Note that the adversarial intensity increases from 0 to $\lambda_{EA}$ as the training proceeds, which is controlled by self.config.train.alpha in the code.

How to select the right learning rate? Since the environment labels $E$ are noisier than normal classification labels, LECI starts with lower learning rates than general GNNs.

How to select the valid hyperparameters? If the EA/LA loss never decreases (invalid LECI), please try decreasing $\lambda_{EA}$ and $\lambda_{LA}$.

For more details, please refer to the appendix of our paper.
